Click the icon to the right of the Collector or Source.
A dialog box opens to display the JSON configuration.

Click Copy to copy the JSON code to your clipboard. (If you use Safari as your browser, there is no direct copy option. You must select all of the text manually, then use the browser copy option to copy to the clipboard.)

Open a text editor and paste the JSON code into the file, where you can modify it as needed.

Passwords for ex. remote file sources will be replaced with ":"********" since we will not expose passwords in the UI for security reasons. Correct the ":"********" entry with live and real passwords for this JSON to work for a new collector.

The cutoffTimestamp option can be updated to use a Linux epoch timestamp to specify that resulting ingests do not capture legacy data that may exist on the server. To derive epoch timestamps from real dates and times, visit the official epoch converter page.

Name the file sources.json, or another name that makes sense, and save the file to an accessible location.
